The Shelton slice repairnmn rec-
ognized the problem and set out
to find a solution. AL the outset
hc saw that reg~flar nylon web-
bing wouldn't work because iL
wasn't strong enough and frayed
easily. The experimenting had be-
gun. Still of the opinion that some
fo]'ln of nyloR was his answer,
Chamberlin teated a variety of ny-
lon treatments after consulting so-
veral chemists. Resulthntly many
of his early experiments ended up
at. the dump.
But finally Chamberlin develop-
ed a process which made the
treatcd nylon a "stronger, safer
and more flexible" binder than
chains. He ran the regular nylon
webbing through a polyvinyl chlo-
ride dip then nnder a 750-degrec
infra-red light which stretched out
the nylon and nearly doubled its
strength.
Chamberlin was sure of the ad-
,cqdacy of his new product, but
his battle to get. it on the market
was only half done. Because of
the ma]w regulations on the
transportation of large loads on
